Lake Regional Health System is accepting applications for the 2013 Summer Nursing Camp, scheduled 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. July 22-24, at Lake Regional Hospital in Osage Beach. The camp is designed for high school students and adults who are interested in pursuing nursing careers.

Throughout the three-day camp, participants will gain an understanding of nursing fundamentals as they visit nursing units, job shadow experienced nurses, learn about state-of-the-art equipment used daily by nurses and interact with staff. Students will be encouraged to ask questions and learn new critical thinking skills.

Students also will gain hands-on nursing experience in the interactive and challenging skills lab. Using the training equipment, they will learn the proper technique for inserting intravenous catheters, performing head-to-toe patient assessments, checking blood pressures and more.

The camp is free, but class size is limited. To download an application and additional information, visit lakeregional.com/events and click Summer Nursing Camp. Applications must be postmarked or hand delivered to Debra Koeninger, R.N., MSN, at Lake Regional Hospital by Monday, July 1.
